Solid catalysts for the production of fine chemicals: the use of natural phosphate alone and doped base catalysts for the synthesis of unsaturated arylsulfones

The inexpensive natural phosphate, both alone and doped with potassium fluoride, is a new basic catalyst for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated arylsulfones. Activation by water and benzyltriethylammonium chloride has also been investigated. When using an ammonium salt, natural phosphate doped with potassium fluoride is an excellent solid support for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated arylsulfones, leading to excellent yields in a few minutes.

介孔分子筛SBA-15负载的二双齿钛烯烃聚合催化剂的合成及催化乙烯聚合反应

合成了二双齿钛催化剂[C₃H₆(N=CH-Ar-O)₂]TiCl₂(Ar=3-tert-butyl-C₆H₃)，并通过X-射线单晶衍射分析测定了其晶体结构。应用新型介孔分子筛SBA-15为载体，成功地对其进行了物理和化学负载，并采用元素分析、ICP、FT-IR和XRD等对载体催化剂进行了表征。在甲基铝氧烷（MAO）的作用下进行乙烯聚合研究，结果表明载体催化剂活性虽然比二双齿钛均相催化剂的活性有所降低，但是由于载体孔道效应生成了纤维状聚乙烯，同时聚合物的分子量较均相催化剂得到的聚合物有大幅度提高。

我们报道了稀土离子掺杂进CeO₂的形貌和不同晶面对氨合成活性的影响.我们采用了将Pr掺杂到CeO₂的晶格里,制备成不同形貌的Ce_0.8Pr_0.2O₂载体（棒状,立方块）.实验表明,在400℃,1 MPa下,Ru/r-Ce_0.8Pr_0.2O₂催化剂的氨合成催化活性（2 297.09 umol/（g·h））比Ru/c-Ce_0.8Pr_0.2O₂催化剂的氨合成活性（887.57 umol/（g·h））要高.另外我们发现Cs可以有效的促进氨合成催化剂的活性,如2Cs-Ru/r-Ce_0.8Pr_0.2O₂（13 698 μmol/（g·h））,2Cs-Ru/c-Ce_0.8Pr_0.2O₂（（7 667.7μmol/（g·h））.从本研究可以看出,催化剂的催化活性与载体所暴露的不同晶面有关.     

Synthesis and characterization of sodium titanates Na2Ti3O7 and Na2Ti6O13

Na₂Ti₃O₇ and Na₂Ti₆O₁₃ were synthesized by sol-gel method in order to obtain pure phases. Different heat-treatments were applied on powders and pellets of these materials. The effects were studied by XRD, dilatometry, TGA-DTA, SEM and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Pure Na₂Ti₃O₇ was obtained at 973 K. Sintering at 1373 K caused a partial decomposition into Na₂Ti₆O₁₃. The Na₂Ti₃O₇ powder sintered at 1273 K showed polygonal microstructure. Na₂Ti₃O₇ pellets sintered at 1323 K for 10 h exhibited large structures. This latter microstructure decreased the electrical conductivity of Na₂Ti₃O₇. Pure Na₂Ti₆O₁₃ was obtained at 873 K. Sintering at 1073 K caused a partial decomposition into TiO₂ (rutile). Na₂Ti₆O₁₃ pellets sintered at 1323 K for 10 h exhibited common shrinkage behavior. This shrinkage process increased the electrical conductivity of this material. The presence of TiO₂ resulted in a oxygen partial pressure dependence of the electrical conductivity.

钌基催化剂因其在低温低压下具有比常规的铁基催化剂更具活性的特点成为合成氨催化剂的理想选择.我们研究了CeO₂载体表面碱性对Ru基合成氨催化剂的影响.通过调节KOH沉淀剂的量来制备具有不同碱性位点的CeO₂载体（pH=10/11/12）,证明了催化剂适当碱性位点密度提高了合成氨催化活性.催化性能测试结果表明,1.25% Ru/CeO₂-11催化剂在3.8 MPa,450℃,H₂/N₂=3（60 mL·min^-1）下表现出优异的氨合成活性（7040 μmol·g^-1·h^-1）.CeO₂-11的碱性位点增强了载体的电子给予能力,这有利于电子向活性金属Ru转移,从而促进了N₂的活化.碱金属和碱土金属的引入提高了活性金属Ru的还原能力.4% Cs-1.25% Ru/CeO₂-11（12 000 μmol·g^-1·h^-1）催化剂具有更多的氧空位,这增加了Ru周围的电子密度并促进了N≡N的裂解.通过XRD,BET,SEM,CO₂-TPD,H₂-TPR和XPS分析了不同碱性CeO₂载体对合成氨催化反应的影响.

Chemoselective sulfoxidation by H2O2 or HNO3 using a phosphate impregnated titania catalyst

A variety of organosulfur compounds have been selectively oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxides by either H₂O₂ or HNO₃ using a newly developed solid acid catalyst composed of 84.5% of TiO₂ and 15.5% of [Ti₄H₁₁(PO₄)₉]·nH₂O (n = 1-4). The chemoselective oxidation of sulfides in the presence of vulnerable groups such as -CN, -CC-, -CHO, or -OH, as well as sulfoxidation of substrates like benzothiazole, glycosyl sulfide, and dibenzothiophenes is some of the important attribute of the protocol. Nitric acid, under the present experimental conditions, brings about relatively better selectivity than hydrogen peroxide.     

Synthesis, structure and properties of new chain cuprates, Na3Cu2O4 and Na8Cu5O10

Na₃Cu₂O₄ and Na₈Cu₅O₁₀ were prepared via the azide/nitrate route from stoichiometric mixtures of the precursors CuO, NaN₃ and NaNO₃. Single crystals have been grown by subsequent annealing of the as prepared powders at 500 °C for 2000 h in silver crucibles, which were sealed in glass ampoules under dried Ar. According to the X-ray analysis of the crystal structures (Na₃Cu₂O₄: P2₁/n, Z=4, a=5.7046(2), b=11.0591(4), c=8.0261(3) Å, β=108.389(1)°, 2516 independent reflections, R₁(all)=0.0813, wR₂ (all)=0.1223; Na₈Cu₅O₁₀: Cm, Z=2, a=8.228(1), b=13.929(2), , β=111.718(2)°, 2949 independent reflections, R₁(all)=0.0349, wR₂ (all)=0.0850), the main feature of both crystal structures are CuO₂ chains built up from planar, edge-sharing CuO₄ squares. From the analysis of the Cu-O bond lengths, the valence states of either +2 or +3 can be unambiguously assigned to each copper atom. In Na₃Cu₂O₄ these ions alternate in the chains, in Na₈Cu₅O₁₀ the periodically repeated part consists of five atoms according to Cu^II-Cu^II-Cu^III-Cu^II-Cu^III. The magnetic susceptibilities show the dominance of antiferromagnetic interactions. At high temperatures the compounds exhibit Curie-Weiss behaviour (Na₃Cu₂O₄: , , Na₈Cu₅O₁₀: , , magnetic moments per divalent copper ion). Antiferromagmetic ordering is observed to occur in these compounds below 13 K (Na₃Cu₂O₄) and 24 K (Na₈Cu₅O₁₀).     

Acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) of vinylsilanes over Re2O7–Al2O3 catalyst

Tetravinylsilane and divinylsilanes have been successfully metathesized for the first time over Re₂O₇/Al₂O₃ catalyst promoted with tetrabutyltin under mild reaction conditions. All of the products were acyclic oligomers via intermolecular metathesis; the cyclic products via intramolecular metathesis were not formed.     

The crystal structure determinations and refinements of K2S2O7, KNaS2O7 and Na2S2O7 from X-ray powder and single crystal diffraction data

The crystal structures of K₂S₂O₇, KNaS₂O₇ and Na₂S₂O₇ have been solved and/or refined from X-ray synchrotron powder diffraction data and conventional single-crystal data. K₂S₂O₇: From powder diffraction data, monoclinic C2/c, Z=4, a=12.3653(2), b=7.3122(1), , β=93.0792(7)°, R_Bragg=0.096. KNaS₂O₇: From powder diffraction data; triclinic , Z=2, a=5.90476(9), b=7.2008(1), , α=101.7074(9), β=90.6960(7), γ=94.2403(9)°, R_Bragg=0.075. Na₂S₂O₇: From single-crystal data; triclinic , Z=2, a=6.7702(9), b=6.7975(10), , α=116.779(2), β=96.089(3), γ=84.000(3)°, R_F=0.033. The disulphate anions are essentially eclipsed. All three structures can be described as dichromate-like, where the alkali cations coordinate oxygens of the isolated disulphate groups in three-dimensional networks. The K-O and Na-O coordinations were determined from electron density topology and coordination geometry. The three structures have a cation-disulphate chain in common. In K₂S₂O₇ and Na₂S₂O₇ the neighbouring chains are antiparallel, while in KNaS₂O₇ the chains are parallel. The differences between the K₂S₂O₇ and Na₂S₂O₇ structures, with double-, respectively single-sided chain connections and straight, respectively, corrugated structural layers can be understood in terms of the differences in size and coordinating ability of the cations.

A new lithium manganese phosphate with an original tunnel structure in the A2MP2O7 family

A new member of the A₂MP₂O₇ diphosphate family, Li₂MnP₂O₇, has been synthesized by solid-state reaction and characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Li₂MnP₂O₇ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/a (#14) with the cell parameters a=9.9158(6) Å, b=9.8289(6) Å, c=11.1800(7) Å, β=102.466(5)°, Z=8 and V=1063.9(1) Å³. Its mixed framework exhibits an original Mn₂O₉ unit, built up of one MnO₅ trigonal bipyramid sharing one edge with one MnO₆ octahedron. These Mn₂O₉ units are sharing corners with P₂O₇ diphosphate groups, forming the undulating [Mn₄P₈O₃₂]_∞ layers. The [MnP₂O₇]_∞ 3D framework, resulting from the interconnection of the undulating [Mn₄P₈O₃₂]_∞ layers, exhibits different kinds of intersecting tunnels containing the Li cations.     

A new member of sodium titanates,Na2Ti9O19

A new compound of sodium nonatitanate, Na₂Ti₉O₁₉, has been prepared by the hydrothermal reactions of titanium dioxide gel with sodium hydroxide aqueous solution. The crystal has a C-centered monoclinic lattice with the unit-cell dimensions a = 12.2, b = 3.78, c = 15.3Å, and β = 98.0°. It is expected that the structure consists of a framework different from those in tri-, hexa-, hepta-, and octatianates.     

Na6B13O22.5, a new noncentrosymmetric sodium borate

Na₆B₁₃O_22.5 (B/Na=2.17) single crystals were obtained by heating, melting and appropriately cooling borax, Na₂[B₄O₅(OH)₄]·8H₂O. Its formula has been determined by the resolution of the structure from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The compound crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric orthorhombic Iba2 space group, with the following unit cell parameters: a=33.359(11) Å, b=9.554(3) Å, c=10.644(4) Å; V=3392.4(19) Å³; Z=8. The crystal structure was solved from 3226 reflections until R₁=0.0385. It exhibits a three-dimensional framework built up from BO₃ triangles (Δ) and BO₄ tetrahedra (T). Two kinds of borate groups can be considered forming two different double B₃O₃ rings: two B₄O₉ (linkage by two boron atoms) and one B₅O₁₁ (linkage by one boron atom); the shorthand notation of the new fundamental building block (FBB) existing in this compound is: 13: ∞³ [(5: 3Δ+2T)+2(4: 2Δ+2T)]. The discovery of this new borate questions the real number of Na₂B₄O₇ varieties. The existence of Na₆B₁₃O_22.5 (B/Na=2.17) and of another recently discovered borate, Na₃B₇O₁₂ (B/Na=2.33; FBB 7: ∞³ [(3: 2Δ+T)+(3: Δ+2T)+(1: Δ)], with a composition close to the long-known borate α-Na₂B₄O₇ (B/Na=2; FBB 8: ∞³ [(5: 3Δ+2T)+(3: 2Δ+T)], may explain the very complex equilibria reported in the Na₂O-B₂O₃ phase diagram, especially in this range of composition.     

Al2O3助剂对Co/SiC催化剂F-T反应性能的影响

分别采用沉淀法、尿素水解法制备Al₂O₃/SiC复合载体,采用等体积浸渍法制备Co/Al₂O₃-SiC催化剂。结合N₂吸附、XRD、H₂-TPR、XPS等表征手段,研究Al₂O₃助剂对钴基催化剂物相结构、还原行为以及F-T合成性能等的影响。结果表明,氧化铝加入后增强了载体与钴物种之间的相互作用,提高了钴物种的分散度,降低了钴物种的还原度。尿素水解法引入Al₂O₃后,载体与钴物种具有适中的相互作用,表现出较高的反应活性。沉淀法制备的载体负载钴物种后由于较强的金属-载体相互作用,表现出较优的稳定性。
